About this postcard

A linen large-letter "Greetings from KANSAS" postcard, with scenes framed inside the letters: a combine harvester, an airplane, a statue, cattle, the State Capitol at Topeka, and a sunflower. The State Capitol is also pictured below the letters, and the sunflower is labeled "State Flower the Sunflower." Large-letter linen cards were popular from the 1930s to the 1950s; the sunflower is Kansas's state flower.
